Street & Traffic Lighting

Goal & Responsibilities
Currently, the city operates and maintains a traffic signal system consisting of 118 traffic signal installations. City crews also maintain City-owned street lights. However, the majority of Dubuque's street lights are actually owned and maintained by Alliant Energy.

Reporting A Problem
To report a street light that is not working, contact the Public Works Department at 563.589.4250. To report a traffic signal that is not working, immediately contact the Public Works Department or call the Police Department's Communications Center at 563.589.4415.

Please call rather than email regarding traffic signals, as they require immediate attention.
